the edge of glory…
I took a deep breath today and started sending query letters out to agents for my manuscript. I’ve sent it off into a couple of free for alls (ie the only days of the week/month that some publishers have for unsolicited manuscripts) where the first 10 pages or so goes off into a great black…

things my mother taught me…
Me & my Mum I posted this last year for Mothers Day, and you know what? The sentiments haven’t changed. So, in time for Mothers Day on Sunday, here’s a little about Mum and Moon. April Elliott Kent posted one of the best blogs I have read recently around Mother and Moon aspects in the…

In the Darkness of Your Dreams
You gotta love it when NASA starts talking dirty about the swollen orbs of a Full Moon. This one is huge- the Moon, that is…about 14% larger than any other full moon of 2012…at least it will appear to be 14%-17% larger (depending, I guess, on your idea of size and perspective). Why? Because the…

Was it worth it?
Regular readers have heard me wax lyrical from time to time about those soupy dumplings I first tried in Hong Kong, and later wherever I can get them…xiao long bao… Anyways, when I was in Hong Kong, I could easily have had these 3 meals a day. In case you’re interested, there are about 310…

Q & A: How to cast a chart
To get the ball rolling, a few pointers on casting charts and astro weather forecasts…non astro peeps? you have been warned… What software do you use to cast charts? I run Solarfire. It’s developed by an Aussie company, so I might be biased, but I love it. It is windows based, so if, like me,…

What is it about…Justin Bieber?
That celebrity I mentioned yesterday with the super strong Pluto? It’s….wait for it…Justin Bieber. OMFG! Seriously? Yep, at the risk of completely decimating any street cred I happen to have left after all of my confessions regarding my theory that there is a Pet Shop Boys song for any and all of lifes little situations,…
